The DCU Past Present And Future With Marty Pasko And Vaneta Rogers

As the saying goes you don't know where you're going if you
don't know where you've been. We explore the past and future
changes at DC Comics. Pasko wrote the history for the 2007 DC
Vault, and researched more material for last year's 75th
anniversary Tashen book. You'll hear about Marty's 1970's DC
retroactive Superman story, but also learn about deacdes of chnages
and innovations to many of DC's top stars. From the stress filled
stomach aches suffered by Wonder Woman editors when they got
salacious stories from her creator William Moulton Martsers. Pasko
and Cary Bates were given the task of coaching Mario Puzzo in
Superman lore while Puzzo prepared to write the 1978 first
screenplay draft for the Richard Donner film. You'll learn how
editor Julie Schwartz revamped Batman in 1966, to catch the eye of
television producer William Dozier and led to him craeting the ABC
Batman TV show.

Then Vaneta Rogers Of Newsarama is back to talk about the coming
changes in the DCNU. Rogers has interviewed nearly all of the
craetors involved in the relaunch,and between us we try to put the
pieces together to figure out what may be in store for readers this
September.
